In this week’s episode, Rowan explores the lore of lycanthropes–those unfortunate souls who transform into wolves under the full moon.
We explore numerous versions of werewolf mythology, the way these stories were used against innocents throughout history, how modern medicine has affected the discussion, and ways someone might gain this transformative power.
